Elections to the UK Parliament in Westminster
take place on June 8th. There will be leaflets from
all the different political parties posted through
your door, political broadcasts on the television,
radio and articles in the newspapers and online.
Choose from a selection of these to find out what
each party’s policies and promises are on different
subjects including: education, families, the
economy, taxation, employment, Brexit.
Record what you have found out about each party’s
views. Hint: a table listing each issue and each
party’s policies might be best. Bring this in to share
with the class and, if you wish, be ready to say
what you think about them.
You may also want to talk about these different
views with members of your family.
*Spelling Patterns*
The best way for your child to embed and apply their knowledge of spelling in their writing is to dictate a few sentences to them
to write which include their spelling words. Revising spelling for a short burst each day is more effective than working for one
long session per week. Please select some activities from the ‘Spell Well’ sheet sent home at the start of the year and try
dictating some sentences for your child to write.
